Bath re-enamelling in Peterston-super-Ely, done in place
When a bath is structurally fine but worn out on the surface, resurfacing is normally the best value. It avoids removal, plumbing and re-tiling. Typical jobs include a peeling or bubbling previous coating and worn patches where water runs and sits, across acrylic baths, Victorian roll-tops and basins & shower trays.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee.

Do you need bath re-enamelling in Peterston-super-Ely?
Enamel’s shine is only skin deep, and every scrub with an abrasive cleaner takes a little away. After years of use, the surface becomes porous and stains easily.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bath in a colour that no longer suits
- Staining under the taps and around the waste
- Chips and rust in more than one place
- A roll-top that is seen better days
What your quote should include
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- When it can be used again
- Who turns up on the day
Honest limits
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:
- A poorly supported acrylic bath, until it’s firmed up
- Steel that has corroded right through
- Leaks from fittings rather than the bath

How to look after the repair
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wipe the bath dry after use in hard water areas
- Stick to gentle, non-abrasive cleaners
- A dripping tap should be fixed promptly
- Don’t use the bath until it has fully cured
Rinse away dyes, oils and bath bombs straight after use, as they can stain. Fix dripping taps quickly.
Avoid scrubbing a dull bath with abrasive cleaners. It just wears the enamel further.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Replacing a bath typically involves a plumber, a fitter and a tiler. Resurfacing is one technician, normally in a day, with the bath ready the day after. Our bath re-enamelling starts from £350. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic baths can be resurfaced too, using a system that bonds to acrylic. It must be solid and not flex underfoot for the finish to last.
Cast iron
A cast iron bath is heavy enough that most people never want to move it. Only the enamel surface wears or chips, and that’s the part we put right.
